Nikon SLR Cameras

Are any of these lenses/accessories compatible with the Nikon d3100 camera?

I found these on a website and was wondering if these worked with my D3100:
Argus light exposure unit
ProSpec Zoom lens f=7 55mm.
Telesar Auto Telephoto 1:2.8 f=135mm 18 -55
Vivitar 50mm 1:1.4 Auto 49mm UMC.

This was pretty much all the info the seller gave and I have tried my best to research it online but as a beginner photographer, I ended up with a lot of confusing information and thought I would ask for some help here.

Argus light exposure unit - You camera already has a built-in light meter so the old Argus light meter would just be useful for setting up lighting ratios using incandescent lights

ProSpec Zoom lens f=7 55mm. The ProSpeck zoom is really 7-55 mm? Not 17-55 mm. Does it have a Nikon F mount and does it have an internal focusing motor?

Telesar Auto Telephoto 1:2.8 f=135mm 18 -55 This lens is either a 18-55 mm or it is a 135 mm lens, it can't be both and of course the same holds true; does it have a Nikon F mount and does it have an internal focusing motor?

Vivitar 50mm 1:1.4 Auto 49mm (the 49 mm refers to the filter size this lens uses) UMC a Vivitar lens can't be a USM lens. USM is a trademarked name for the Canon EF lenses with ultra-sonic auto-focus motors in them

Vivitar has not make an exceptional lens singe the days of the Vivitar Series 1 lenses and when Mr's. Ponder and Best owned the company

I looked for ProSpec cameras on eBay and found that many of the sellers did not even know what they were selling. One listed as a 55 mm lens was in fact some kind of zoom which had a 55 mm lens thread on it.

You really have to beware of items being sold on eBay if they are NOT listed correctly.

Here's one simple tip when browsing cheap items online. Make sure you only get interested with the words Nikon. If that doesn't appear on the title, don't bother opening it up.

My guess is you would be able to use those lenses with an appropriate adapter but lose all automatic functions. As for the lightmeter, your camera already has one.
